Personally, I see as good: hr, RBI, R, W, K, Whip, ERA. Speed is average, BA is poor. Saves need another closer from FAAB...



What does the peanut gallery think?



Chris

wow, if I hadn't gotten private messages on this I would have though no one was reading the boards....

Looks pretty solid. I like the OF you were able to assemble, too.

Ok, I'll play devil's advocate.



1. Utley doesen't qualify at 1b in the NFBC.



2- 3B could be a huge problem if Rolen can't come back and Boone gets off to a slow start and is replaced by Marte.



3- The OF, as a whole, may hit in the 260's and Tavares could lose playing time this year, he is your only speed guy so that would take a hit also.



On the other hand, your pitching looks solid, you have more than enough power, and if you can find a speed guy and a closer on waivers it should be a very competitive team.

15-20 from Utley Chase 1B,2B PHI,

4-8 from Uribe Juan SS CHW

4-8 from Dunn Adam 1B,OF CIN

30-45 from Taveras Willy OF HOU

10-18 from Jones Jacque OF,DH CHC

15-20 from Ramirez Hanley MI FLA

10-15 from Boone Aaron CI CLE



Make sense?

1. Utley is playing 2b for me, the 1b was left over from MDC...

2. Risk/reward - we will have to see how that gamble plays out



I agree - to me, no team can possibly be 100% solid from a draft this deep - you have to watch the FA line and see who breaks out. I feel that I tend to see allot of young speed guys emerge, and closers change hats like crazy, so i think this could be augmented with a little help.



Thanks for the thoughts all!

Make sense? You'll need to hit the tops of those ranges to be "average" (i.e. middle of the pack) in stolen bases. I would grade your team as below average in speed.

I think you are overly optomistic on Taveras projected steals. You better hope Bags can't play

Is time lost to the dl a positive category in your league?

You're right about the power categories -- should be among the leaders of your league.
